More About This Book

Overview

What would you do for five million dollars? Adam and Evia Langston have lived in their own little garden of Eden since the two married at the age of seventeen. Working their way up from the humblest of beginnings, the Langstons have thrived beyond anything they could have ever imagined. Now they live in the finest home, drive the best cars, and indulge in all the trimmings that signify their massive success.

But then the recession hits and rips apart the family’s financial stability. Unable to support their three children and other relatives, Adam and Evia find themselves drowning in financial trouble and teetering on the brink of complete disaster. With nowhere to turn, the Langstons have no idea what to do.

Until Shay-Shaunté, Evia’s multimillionaire boss, comes to the Langstons with a five-million-dollar offer that seems so hard to refuse. Will the Langstons make this deal? Or will they recognize that the glitter of five million dollars may be far from gold?

Editorial Reviews

Claudia Deane
The premise is pretty crazy, but Murray's story has the kind of momentum that prompts you to elbow disbelief aside and flip the pages in horrified enjoyment.
—The Washington Post

    A Must Read!!!!!!

    I am a fan of Victoria, I've read all of her books and she has helped me see things in my life, that I never really thought about and I must say this was the Biggest Eye Open especially the Epilogue. WOW, I highly recommend this book and also all her other books. Can't wait to see what she comes out with next.

    The Epilogue ALONE is powerfully thought-provoking!

    I am a new reader of Victoria Christopher Murray novels, and I must say that since "acccidentally" discovering her work via my NOOK two weeks ago, (beginning with "Temptations") I have downloaded and read SIX of her novels....in two weeks! As with the others, this novel does NOT dissapoint! The epilogue alone is such a powerful summary of many of the struggles that we deal with on a day-to-day basis, and how we usually fail to see "the devil in the details". I experienced an epiphany for a situation that I've been dealing with in my own life for the past year after reading the epilogue. I am now an official V.C.M. fan! Please excuse me while I go and download my next selction! Lol!

    "Have I danced with Devil"

    I loved this book. It was so real, so today. It makes you look back at some events that have happened in your own life and wonder, "was that the devil"? Victoria really brought this one.

    Interesting story line

    This was a good book. It shows how material possessions can lead us to make unwise decisions if we leave God out of the equation. Be watchful. Evil lurks everywhere.

    Good Read

    This book has prompt a huge discussion on my job. When I told them the scenario we asked who would follow through with this plan and two of them says they would let their husband spend the weekend and get the money.
    But as we see in the book, the devil is busy and he does come in ways we think not.

    I believe that as children of God, no matter the situation, we just need to cry and trust in God for deliverance.

    Very slow

    This book progresses very slowly. The story line and title were very interesting to me, but the delivery is very slow. The author should have considered a sub plot in order to keep the reader interested while the main plot unfolds.
